Bahsita Mosque ( Arabic: جَامِع بَحْسِيتَا, romanizedJāmiʿ Baḥsītā), also known as Sita Mosque, is one of the historical mosques in Aleppo, Syria, dating back to the Mamluk period. It is located in al-Aqaba district of the Ancient City of Aleppo, near the Bab al-Faraj Clock Tower and the National Library of Aleppo. It was built in 1350. According to the Aleppine historian Sheikh Kamel al-Ghazzi, the name of the mosque is derived from the Syriac name of the neighbourhood Bet Hasiota ( Arabic: بَيْت حَسِيُوتَا, romanizedBayt Ḥasiyūtā) or Bet Hasda ( Arabic: بَيْت حَسْدَا, romanizedBayt Ḥasdā), meaning the house of purity. [1]

In 1911, the octagonal minaret of the mosque was moved to the eastern side of the building to allow enough space to widen the nearby street. [2]
